[. . . ] Any of these wizards opens and guides you through three or four quick steps to perform the action. NOTE: By default, applications are backed up before they are deleted. The compressed backup uses less disk space than the deleted application files, and gives you a chance to recover the application or some of its files later. Each time you run the Remove wizard, you can turn off backups or specify a different location where the backups are stored. In the first screen of the Remove, Archive, Move, and Transport wizards, you choose an application by expanding the list of applications with shortcuts on your desktop, or in the Windows Start menu. TIP: If any associated files are open when you move, transport, remove, or archive an application, QuickClean asks you to reboot your computer so that it can run Application Cleanup to close and back up those files gracefully. If the application does not appear in these lists, click Browse to find application programs, which have the extension . EXE, and choose the one you want. User's Guide 23 Managing Applications Using Remove Getting rid of an application The Remove wizard gets rid of all traces of the application, including shortcuts and Registry entries. If the application has associated data files, you can remove those at the same time if you want to. If QuickClean detects that an application has an uninstall program of its own, you will be given the choice to use the application's uninstall program or the QuickClean Remove wizard. Choose the Remove wizard to completely remove: An application that you no longer use. As you buy new programs, old programs become obsolete or no longer useful. The Remove wizard keeps your computer up-to-date by deleting all old applications and cleaning up the Registry and operating system settings associated with them. Demo applications usually cannot be used after a specified date, but they still remain on your disk, taking up space. An application that you want to reinstall because it is behaving incorrectly. The Remove wizard can uninstall the program and remove all references to it in the Registry and operating system files so that you can perform a clean reinstallation. + WARNING: Make sure that you let the Remove wizard create a backup copy of the application before it is removed. Then you can restore it if you change your mind in a few minutes or a few days later. When you are sure that you do not need the backup, delete it to free disk space. 24 McAfee QuickClean Managing Applications Using Transport Making a copy of an application to rebuild on another computer Use the Transport wizard to package an entire application and its configuration settings so that you can rebuild the application with exactly the same option settings on a different computer. To start the Transport wizard, click PowerClean in the QuickClean main window; then select Transport. For example, if you are transporting your spreadsheet program from your work computer to your laptop computer, you can include the spreadsheets that you have created. To recreate the application, run the package file from the new computer, as described in the next section, "How do I rebuild a transported application on another computer?" + WARNING: Make sure that the application license permits you to run a copy of the application on more than one computer. Some application licences now permit you to use a single copy of the application on more than one computer as long as only one computer is in use at a time. Choose the Transport wizard to: Create a copy of an application on a different computer. The Transport wizard creates a compressed file that contains an entire application, including its option and Registry setting information. You can use this file to rebuild an application with the same settings on your office and laptop computers. Use the Transport wizard to reinstall your old applications with the same option settings. Rebuilding a transported application on another computer An application that you package with the Transport wizard can be rebuilt on another computer that can access the disk or the network where you stored the Transport package file, and that is running Windows 95 or later. Simply double-click the name of the Transport package file in a Windows Explorer file list, and follow instructions that appear on the screen. User's Guide 25 Managing Applications You do not need to have QuickClean installed on the machine where you reinstall the transported application. You do need to make sure that the application license agreement permits you to use the application on more than one computer.
